Exclusion Zone: a car on the road in the game

The Exclusion Zone, in four chapters: the Dytiatky checkpoint, Prypiat, the Duga radar and the Red Forest. Radiation hot spots lie on the road: crawl through one and the tank drains away, cross it fast and it hardly matters. A Geiger meter on screen fills as the dose climbs, and the phone ticks with it.

On the road

  1. Dytiatky checkpoint

    Barriers, a booth, a watchtower with a searchlight, and drizzle.

  2. Prypiat

    Panel blocks with dark windows, the Ferris wheel turning, the stadium, bumper cars and the palace of culture.

  3. Duga

    The giant radar array beside the road, its searchlights sweeping.

  4. Red Forest

    Rust-red pines at night, and wolves crossing the road.

  5. Crows

    Flocks that sit on the road and take off as you come.

Cars that suit it

Every drop counts, and speed gets you out of the hot spots: economy, a jerrycan or nitro.
